I really fear for Gannon's safety. Here is why:

[hector459]

He is a major embarrassment for the administration now and of no use to them. There is always the chance that a person like him might tell all that he knows. The Rovian-neocons are very capable of bumping him off and making it look like suicide, blaming his "suicide" on the liberal bloggers who drove him to such action because they exposed him.

Rovians always look for maximizing their attacks. This would kill three birds with one stone...or however they planned on doing it. It would get rid of Gannon, prevent any further revelations by him, and make "liberals" look like insensitive attackers. Nevermind the truth.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. If Guckert were to turn up dead now or in the future...

The ramifications and the hue and cry would be incalculable. I doubt that blaming it on us, as a group, would have much in the way of legs.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. Yep.

Guckert.

[Bozita]

16. I thought the same about the Jews burning the Reichstag

In an America where war heroes like Kerry and McCain are turned into traitorous cowards, anything can happen.

[BiggJawn]

2. They've done it before...

Suicides and accidents...Oh, and sudden terminal illnesses, too, like Jack Ruby's Cancer...

Carnahan
Hatfield
Wellstone
and many, many more...

4. Baxter - Enron

btw What has happened to the talk about all the bio-chemists who are dead?

[bloodyjack]

3. Wouldn't it be easier to just suppress any information he might reveal

his suicide would more likely than not just draw unwanted attention to circumstances surrounding his death as well as his brief career as a reporter

[DefenseLawyer]

5. You are veering toward Vince Foster territory here

Best to have some proof before you start throwing out stuff like that. Could it happen? Would it happen? Has it happened in the past? Undoubtedly. But I'd hold off on creating murder plots out of whole cloth; as for Gannon, surely he has some military studs to watch his back, so to speak.

[hector459]

10. It's just an opinion. Such talk might save a life.

Why do I need proof for "speculation?" You are requiring more of me than you do from the President.

[Ready4Change]

14. There's a difference, I think.

I don't recall anyone saying they were worried that Foster might be "suicided" before he was found to have apparently done so. I just recall people suggesting afterwards that foul play might have been involved.

[Robbien]

6. Gannon is in no danger. He is a slime just out for the money.

BushCo will just pay him enough and he will keep quiet.

[NV Whino]

7. He will rapidly become a non-story

and disappear on his own.

[illini]

8. The have blackmail info on him.

Pictures and other things. Or, he will just go underground.

[RBHam]

9. He's as good as dead, unless...

He better get his ass to Elliot Spitzer's office like yesterday...

Spitzer might be the only guy who can protect him...

[asthmaticeog]

17. Help me, Elliot Spitzer... you are my only hope.

[AZCat]

20. I don't know why I laughed so hard at this...

But it struck me as funny.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[HEyHEY]

11. wub bub bub bub wub wub bub

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. Think that through a little further

Something tells me that would be WAY too obvious and silly. They wouldn't need to go through the trouble.

[GarySeven]

15. Who CARES?

one less of them is one more step toward freedom and democracy for the rest of us. As paradoxical as it may seem, the only way to have a tolerant, inclusive society is to be Intolerent of intolerence and exclude the exclusives.

[linazelle]

18. What you said....DITTO nt

[mitchum]

19. What he said!

The less of them, the better

[XanaDUer]

27. Ditto that, mitchum

I care more about innocent people dying in wars of aggression than Jeff Gannon, or whatever his name is.

[quisp]

21. just don't get on a small plane like

Paul Wellstoned did.

[Mountainman]

22. Well you sleep with dirt you wake up dirty, I don't care if they bump him

off.

So many people are using the government to enrich themselves now that repuke run the show. Screw them if they get hurt doing it.

[Bake]

23. I DON'T. Fuck him. Deal with the devil, expect to go to hell.

I'm sure as hell not going to lose any sleep over his sorry ass.

Bake

[burn the bush]

24. would it be wrong to do a poll on which way he gets suicided?

a) slit wrist little blood
b) oops one car fatal crash
c) overdose
d) the ever popular double shot gun blast to the head

ok, I know, I crosse the line. very bad

[paineinthearse]

25. You are right

If there are any DU'ers in DC who can give him safe haven........

[oasis]

26. I fear for the future of decent human beings. Right wing Bush shills can

eat shit and die for all I care.
